Mayor's Awards for Excellence in Arts & History

Award recipients must have demonstrated distinguished service, creative accomplishment, a record of publication, presentation or research that enhances the artistic, historic, and broader cultural life of Boise. The awards began in 1986 to honor the arts, and over 70 people and organizations have been recognized since its inception. 2009 marks the first year the field of history has been included in the awards. The Department of Arts & History, formed in 2008, will host the event. Local musician Jeremiah James will play following the award ceremony.

The event honoring the award recipients will be Friday, September 25, 5:30-11:00 at the Powerhouse Events Center (621 S. 17th Boise, Idaho, 208-433-0197).
